If Trenton Smith had told him the truth initially, there's no way he would have taken her to the United Kingdom.
Nor would he have let the situation spiral to this irreversible state.
Seeing his out-of-control emotion, Maple Swallow had to reach out to push him away. He felt a headache coming on and said, "He is still sick, don't fracture his bones again! Nobody wished for this to happen to Norris Moore. Trenton was just trying to help her. Who could have known that it would turn out this way…"
Rufus Swallow tightened his lips, staring at Trenton Smith venomously.
Yes, everyone was doing what they thought was best for her. But those things they considered good only served to transform her into the wreck she was now.
All he wanted was to stay by her side, but he was not only barred from protecting her now; he also couldn't even save her life.
He stared at Trenton Smith for a good while before he got up and turned to leave, slamming the door shut.
